Thinking out loud …

… Freeman Dyson: "I kept quiet for 30 years, maybe it’s time to speak." (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The real mystery is what is going on in the head of a six-month-old baby that enables the baby to make sense of all the things that are going on around it. So if we can somehow study the brains of babies in real detail, we might get a feeling for how consciousness begins. But of course, we are very far away from being able to do that.
